Chapter 150: The Handle
Early the next morning, Yu Jinse went to the courtyard where he lived while Prince Gong was going to the morning court.
As soon as she entered, the housekeeper in the courtyard greeted her: "Miss, the prince has gone to the morning court, is there something wrong with you coming today?" ”
Where does the prince live where people can move around at will? However, these four young ladies are not something that can be offended at will, this is the pearl of the prince's palm!
Yu Jinse smiled slightly, and said: "Money is in charge, I'm not here to look for the prince, but I told the prince yesterday that I would come to his study to find a few books to read today, didn't the prince tell you?" ”
Of course, the money manager heard about it, but he still had to be cross-examined!
"Naturally, I heard about it, looking at the memory of the old slave, he is really old. It's just that now the prince is gone, you see ......"
Yu Jinse didn't mean to blame Qian for being in charge, but he was quite puzzled: "But the prince told me yesterday that I can come to his study at any time to find a book to read!" ”
She looked at the money steward with a very embarrassed look, and said generously: "Forget it, then I'll wait for the prince to come back!" ”
Steward Qian showed a slight hesitation on his face, struggled for a long time, and said: "Fourth Miss said that she laughed, how can I let you run for nothing, since the prince responds, there is no problem, it is an old slave who has a lot of things, and I hope that Fourth Miss is not strange." ”
Yu Jinse had a smile on his face, and he was knowledgeable: "The money manager is laughing, you are the old man in the house, how can I blame you?" After all, the prince is the prince, and he always has to work, and the places in the study are naturally not for us women to enter at will. ”
Steward Qian bowed with a smile, and said while leading Yu Jinse to the study: "It's good that the fourth lady can forgive the old slave, the old slave is grateful." This is it, Fourth Miss, please come in, and the old slave will serve you tea. ”
Yu Jinse hurriedly refused: "Money manager, you go and get busy, I'll go into the house to find a few books and leave, I won't stay long, I'm not thirsty, I don't need to serve tea anymore." ”
Steward Qian answered, and when he saw Yu Jinse leaving Xiang'er outside and going in alone, he turned around and left.
To say that this Qian steward is really the old man of Prince Gong's Mansion, and he is also the chief housekeeper of Prince Gong's Mansion, so he naturally has the trust of Prince Gong.
The scene he walked today was also ordered to do by Prince Gong last night, and as far as he was concerned, it was just a matter of hand.
Yu Jinse had already given Prince Gong the brocade cloth wrapped in the brocade cloth that the prince gave her, so naturally there was nothing left in this study anymore, so he estimated that he would stay in the room for the hour.
She felt that she was idle, and she was going to take the book out to make a show later, so it was better to see if there was anything she was interested in.
She looked around like this, rummaging for a long time and not seeing what she liked. She was quite bored and put the book in her hand on the shelf at random, but one of them was unstable but accidentally fell to the ground, and she immediately squatted down and picked up the book.
It's just that she felt that something was wrong, and slowly squatted down again.
She took a closer look, but saw that the stone brick laid on the ground was really wrong.
Not to mention that the stone bricks on the side are more loosely paved, and the gap between this stone brick and several other stone bricks is also larger than that on the side. She stretched out her hand and knocked on it, only to feel that the sound was very crisp, as if it had a sense of reverberation.
She felt even more wrong, if the stone bricks were tamped, it should be a dull sound!
Yu Jinse bit his lip and thought about it, and when he picked up the stone brick without hesitation, he saw that it was really empty!
She reached out and took out the letterhead, only to see that there was a thick account book underneath!
She thought about it, took out everything and looked at it, these letters were all letters from Prince Gong and the officials of the court! There is also this account book, which records his money transactions with many high-ranking officials in the court.
This is all real evidence of crime!
If these things are presented to the emperor, I am afraid that there will be a big blood change in the court.
Yu Jinse's mind turned, and he probably understood why Prince Gong wanted to leave these handles.
These things are both his handles and those of others. If those individuals tried to betray him, he would not dare to move as long as he threw these things out.
Moreover, some of the letters were written very ambiguously, and as long as he did not leak this account book, he could still pick himself out smoothly.
Yu Jinse naturally knew how useful these things were, and she also understood that if she got these things in her hands, Prince Gong would inevitably be constrained, and she might be able to help Wei Duyuan.
But she can't take it, not a single one!
If this kind of thing is missing, Prince Gong will definitely find out soon, and he will definitely be the first to suspect her. When the time comes, we don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.
Besides, if she gave this thing to Wei Duyuan, if they couldn't bring down Prince Gong in one fell swoop, then they would have to wait for death!
She thought about it for a while, but decided to wait for Wei Duyuan to come back from the northwest before making an idea.
In fact, this thing Prince Gong has been hidden very hidden, this stone brick is against the wall, even if it is loose, it is not easy to be found, if she has not been able to find the book she likes, and the book accidentally fell to the ground, where can she still find it?
When she put it back in its place, she immediately put the stone brick back, then looked around again and saw that there was no dust left before she stood up.
She was so flustered that she didn't stay any longer, took two books from the bookshelf some distance from the stone brick and went outside.
Xiang'er had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw her young lady coming out, she took the book in her hand and followed her out.
At this time, the money steward came over and said respectfully: "Miss, can you find a book that you like?" ”
Yu Jinse's heart beat violently, and the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched quietly unconsciously, but her face was not obvious, and she said with a calm expression: "The prince's book is really not something I can read." I just feel bored, and I want to find some idle books to read, but the prince's books are all profound, and I haven't found anything I can understand for a long time. Fortunately, I read these two military books quite well, quite interesting, so I borrowed these two books to read them first. When the prince comes back, please ask the money manager to talk to the prince. ”
Steward Qian nodded with a smile and said, "The old slave remembers." ”
Yu Jinse casually exchanged a few words with the money steward and went to his yard without hurrying.
What she didn't know was that someone had been staring at her outside the courtyard where Prince Gong lived, with some indescribable anger and madness in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
After Yu Jinse returned to his courtyard, he did not show the slightest panic, and unhurriedly took the military book taken out of Prince Zigong's study from Xiang'er's hand, and then went back to the house to look at it.
After reading the book for a while, she picked up the pen and practiced for a while.
"What are you doing?" This sudden male voice startled Yu Jinse, and the words in his pen became crooked, which was really ugly!
Yu Jinse looked up a little angrily, and saw the culprit standing outside the window looking at him with a bright smile, it was Yu Honghe, who had not seen him for many days.
Yu Jinse remembered all the things in the past, and she naturally remembered what Yu Honghe had done to her, and a trace of disgust appeared uncontrollably in her eyes, but it was fleeting, and she covered it up.
"What is Big Brother here for?" She tossed aside the ruined words on the table, picked up a piece of paper and began to write.
"What? Angry with your brother? The smile on Yu Honghe's face did not change, and it seemed to have some flattery, "Don't be angry, it's my brother's fault, I shouldn't tease you." ”
Yu Jinse ignored him and wrote the words in his hand.
Seeing this, Yu Honghe climbed directly into her room from the window, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the words written on Yu Jinse's desk, and after reading it for a while, he judged: "You write this word well, there is still a faint killing atmosphere, it looks like it was written by a man." ”
Yu Jinse stopped his pen, looked up at Yu Honghe, and saw him with a thoughtful look, so he said, "Really?" I didn't know I could write. It stands to reason that I used to live in a peasant family, and they should have no money to give me to read and write, but I can write, and it seems that the farmer treated me well. ”
In fact, Yu Jinse's ability to read and hyphenate is still because of her mother Yu Xuemei, and Wei Feng is also focused on Yu Xuemei, seeing that his wife wants to teach her children to read and write, she specially went to buy a few books and some paper, pen and ink, which is her enlightenment.
Later, after she married Wei Duyuan, she liked to practice according to his handwriting in her spare time, and over time she wrote very similarly.
Yu Jinse's words were in harmony with Yu Hong's intentions, and he echoed with a smile: "Yes, I must treat you very well." Don't worry, Prince Gong's Mansion will not treat them badly, Dad loves you so much, and he will thank them well. ”
He bit the word 'thanks' very hard, and it seemed to have a deep meaning.
Yu Jinse simply followed his words and made a dejected look: "But I haven't seen them again." ”
Yu Honghe raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you haven't seen them?" By the way, do you remember what happened in the West Courtyard that night? I've always wanted to ask you about, but I'm afraid you won't want to mention it. ”
Yu Jinse pretended to be puzzled: "What do you remember?" Did Big Brother see something? I remember that we went to see the fireflies together, and then I fainted somehow, and it was the eldest brother who sent me back, and I haven't thanked the eldest brother properly. ”
The smile on Yu Honghe's face froze for a moment, and his eyes looked at Yu Jinse's expression sharply, as if he wanted to see if she was hiding something.
After a while, the smile on his face dispersed: "It's good if you don't get angry with me, thank you don't have to, besides, I'm not good, I knew that you were not in good health and took you there, and I frightened you." ”
"By the way, you went to your father's yard today?" Yu Honghe didn't wait for Yu Jinse to say anything more, and immediately picked up the topic again, "Dad usually goes to the morning court in the morning, but today is not the big court, and I didn't go, if something happens, you can talk to me." ”
The early dynasty of the Dayu Dynasty was not opened every day, but the emperor would summon some specific ministers every day, and the general dynasty would be held once every five days, and at that time the officials above the fifth rank would go.
However, there are exceptions, if something major happens in the court in those days, the emperor will also hold a big court meeting every day.
Yu Jinse also knows this rule.
"It's nothing, just go to the prince's study and borrow a few books to read."
Yu Honghe quietly observed Yu Jinse's complexion, and after a long time, he said: "I'm afraid you can't get used to reading the books over there from Dad, you can go to me to find them, and if you don't agree with them, you can also ask the maid to buy them for you." ”
As he spoke, he sighed again, but his voice was still as gentle as ever: "Why don't you want to call your father after so long!" ”
Yu Jinse didn't say a word, she pulled the conversation away casually, and she opened her mouth euphemistically without saying a word, but fortunately, Yu Honghe was a smart one, so she followed her wishes.
After the others left, she sat quietly on the stool for a long time before calling Xiang'er to the door.
She looked at Xiang'er who was standing not far away, and asked indifferently, "Xiang'er, why did the eldest brother come in?" Didn't anyone say a word? ”
There are bandits who come to farm
